Why You're Always Cold - And What It Might Really Mean
You wear a hoodie in summer.
You need a blanket when others open a window.
At the office? You're that person hugging a hot mug like it’s life support.
Sounds familiar?
If you're always cold - hands, feet, nose - no matter the season, you’ve probably heard these “helpful” suggestions:
“Just move more!”
“You probably have bad circulation.”
“Maybe try iron pills?”
But here’s the thing: nutritionists, doctors, and hormone specialists are quietly pointing toward a deeper, more personalized reason behind chronic chilliness.
And it’s one most people never consider.
It’s Not Just “Bad Circulation”
Yes, poor circulation can be a factor - but it’s often a symptom, not a root cause.
Let’s look at what might really be going on beneath the surface:
- ❄️ Low iron or B12 - even if your blood tests are “normal,” slight deficiencies can mess with how oxygen travels in your body.
- ❄️ Not eating enough calories or fats - your body literally slows down your metabolism to conserve energy, making you feel colder.
- ❄️ Thyroid slowdown - heavily influenced by nutrient intake like iodine, selenium, and zinc.
- ❄️ Unbalanced hormones or irregular meals - both can disrupt your internal thermostat more than you’d think.
And get this - many of these issues are made worse by “healthy” diets that are too low in carbs, fat, or calories for your actual body.
“But I Eat Clean…”
Sure you do.
But if your meals aren’t matched to your body’s real needs, they might not be keeping your metabolism and hormone signals running as they should.
So you stay cold.
Tired.
Maybe even anxious.
And you blame it on stress or the weather… again.
This Isn’t About Eating More - It’s About Eating Right
What keeps your body warm is a unique combo of:
- blood sugar balance
- enough nutrient-dense meals
- steady calorie intake
- and a metabolism that doesn’t feel like it’s in “hibernate mode”
Here’s What You Can Do
Instead of guessing…
Instead of layering sweaters on your sweaters…
You might want to take a gentler (and smarter) step:
→ Get a food plan that supports your inner thermostat, hormone health, and energy - built around you.
Feeling cold all the time isn’t something you just have to live with.
Sometimes, the answer isn’t another jacket. It’s what’s on your plate.
